Ethical Elephant Interactions

The Grand Palace is a must-see in Bangkok that we’ll go to in the morning. Continue to Wat Po temple where you will be treated with magnificent statues of Buddha, stupas, and Thai traditional massage school.

After breakfast, you will be transferred with your guide to the Elephant Heaven. Here, you will have an opportunity to interact with the beautiful elephants. Instead of potentially harmful activities, such as rides, you will participate in a variety of ethical experiences, from feeding and bathing to walking with them to the river.

Drive 37 miles from Chiang Mai, Elephant Nature Park is the leading sanctuary in elephant rescue and rehabilitation center in Thailand. While many tourists use elephants as entertainment, others come to this elephant park to care for the beautiful beasts. You will have an opportunity to interact with more than 70 elephants across the 250-acre grounds, feed them, bathe to them, and walk with them to the jungle. Especially, stay one night at the park.

Visit Kaad Luang Market like a local with your guide today. It’s interesting to see the busy atmosphere at the market, see how people buy and sell fresh produce and local specialties, and listen to all the sounds that are very typical of a traditional Thai market. Taste some snacks and drinks while strolling around. You will have lunch at a small restaurant before driving back to the hotel.

In the afternoon, visit the iconic temples in the city. You will see Wat Phrasing with exquisite carving and murals, Wat Chedi Luang that is partly destroyed by an earthquake in 1545. Drive up the mountain to Wat Prathat Doi Suthep, the most sacred temple in North Thailand. Here, you will learn about its history, see impressive chedi, and join a private blessing ceremony. 

Discover the islands of Phi Phi today in a relaxing manner that spans the entire day and is jam-packed with amazing activities. Visit iconic spots including secluded beaches, hidden lagoons, tropical islands, and some spectacular snorkeling stops. 

Lunch at a seaside restaurant with the island’s flavors for sophisticated palates.

All good things must come to an end, and it’s time to say goodbye to Thailand. Transfer back to the airport for flying home.
